Chapter 44: Rejection

Xiao Ruoyan did not go to dinner with Anne that night, but waited for Ji Xiaoxi at the door of the company when he got off work.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, so he sat in the car and waited for Ji Xiaoxi.

Here, Ji Xiaoxi walked to the door of the company after completing all the work, and saw a limited edition Lautres parked at the door, she knew that this car was Xiao Ruoyan's favorite one, and he usually did not allow anyone other than the driver and him to sit, not even Ye Qing.

It seems that Xiao Ruoyan really cares about Annie, otherwise she wouldn't have used this car to take her to dinner.

When Ji Xiaoxi thought of this, she felt that there was a place in her heart that hurt secretly, and she originally wanted to leave directly without seeing anything.

But as soon as he passed by the car, he heard Xiao Ruoyan shouting: "Ji Xiaoxi-"

"What's wrong?"

Ji Xiaoxi turned around, her tone was not good, in her memory, Xiao Ruoyan must not have done anything good to find herself.

Xiao Ruoyan also wanted to let himself talk to Ji Xiaoxi gently, but Ji Xiaoxi's tightly furrowed brows made him feel very unhappy.

I'm waiting for her to get off work here, what's she dissatisfied with?

"I have something to tell you. ”

"Don't you have to go on a date with a beautiful woman tonight?"

At this time, Xiao Ruoyan finally remembered his verbal agreement with Anne in the afternoon, saying that they would go to a candlelight dinner together in the evening.

However, Xiao Ruoyan didn't really take this matter seriously, not that he was a playboy and his words didn't count.

It's just that he deliberately said what Ji Xiaoxi said, and he didn't take it seriously.

And Ji Xiaoxi shouldn't have left her phone number for Anne, so what else is there to make an appointment.

"Anne has something to do tonight, so I won't make an appointment first, you get in the car first, and I'll tell you something. ”

Xiao Ruoyan didn't want to express to Ji Xiaoxi that she agreed to the date with Anne because she was deliberately angry, so she could only find the most clumsy excuse.

Ji Xiaoxi snorted coldly.

But you came to me because others didn't have time?

Am I someone else's substitute?

Ji Xiaoxi was angry and turned around directly to leave.

The moment she saw Ji Xiaoxi turn around, Xiao Ruoyan stepped forward and grabbed her wrist: "Can't you hear me talking to you?" I said that I have something to tell you. ”

"What can you do? ”

Ji Xiaoxi broke free of Xiao Ruoyan's hand, and then said word by word: "I don't want to have any intersection with you in the company, or let others misunderstand our relationship." ”

"I love my job now and I want to keep doing it, and I don't want you to affect me. ”

Ji Xiaoxi said his thoughts frankly.

Ji Xiaoxi knew that she should never have a hazy affection for Xiao Ruoyan, so she had been cutting off her thoughts, so she had to maintain a consistent style in the company where the two of them worked.

Don't have any intersection with Xiao Ruoyan.

This is the best way to protect yourself from more inexplicable feelings.

Xiao Ruoyan thought that Ji Xiaoxi was just a little disgusted with himself, so he frowned, and said with dark eyes: "What do you mean by this?"

"Am I so unbearable in your eyes?"

"It doesn't matter what you look like in my eyes, you just need to understand that the relationship between the two of us is that of uncle and sister-in-law. ”

After Ji Xiaoxi finished speaking, he ran away like a gust of wind.

Xiao Ruoyan looked at Ji Xiaoxi's back running by, and raised his hand helplessly, as if he wanted to grab something, but he still put it down weakly.

Back in the car, Xiao Ruoyan decided not to go back to Xiao's house tonight, and went to find a friend for a few drinks first.

Late at night, when the housekeeper helped Xiao Ruoyan to the second floor.

Ji Xiaoxi was quarreled from his sleep by Xiao Ruoyan's voice.

"Butler, why do you want to hold me, where are you going to carry me?"

"Let's go look for my brother, I haven't seen him for days. ”

"Little young master, calm down, the eldest young master is already asleep, don't disturb him with a quiet voice. ”

"But how did I keep my voice downβ€”"

Ji Xiaoxi clicked the door of the room open, and saw Xiao Ruoyan leaning on the housekeeper drunk.

The housekeeper is already old, and a middle-aged man like Xiao Ruoyan, who is almost 1.9 meters tall, makes it difficult for him to support him alone.

Most of the servants slept at night, and the housekeeper couldn't bear to disturb everyone's rest.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaoxi stepped forward and put up one of Xiao Ruoyan's arms.

"Miss Ji-" The housekeeper said gratefully, it was great that Ji Xiaoxi could walk out of the room to help her at this time.

"I'll come, Uncle Housekeeper, go back and rest. I put him back in my room and I went to rest. ”

Ji Xiaoxi saw the housekeeper's tired look, and it was not good for the old man to be so tired.

The housekeeper couldn't ask for it, Xiao Ruoyan was very heavy, and his body was a little unbearable, and Ji Xiaoxi was willing to take the initiative to take care of Xiao Ruoyan like this, wouldn't it be more conducive to the two of them to get along.

The butler quickly left the hallway.

There were only two people left in the corridor, Ji Xiaoxi and Xiao Ruoyan.

I don't know if Xiao Ruoyan is already a little sleepy at this time, he no longer shouts loudly, but mutters instead.

Ji Xiaoxi couldn't hear what he was talking about, but Ji Xiaoxi didn't have much interest either.

A drunken man can't believe anything.

Ji Xiaoxi sent Xiao Ruoyan back to the room, and as soon as he put Xiao Ruoyan on the bed, he heard Xiao Ruoyan shout clearly: "Ji Xiaoxi-"

Ji Xiaoxi thought that Xiao Ruoyan was awake, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

"You liarβ€”"

Why am I a liar? Ji Xiaoxi was a little confused.

She was a little angry and wanted to step forward to theorize, but found that Xiao Ruoyan's eyes were still closed, and it seemed that they were all drunk.

Ji Xiaoxi didn't care, but helped Xiao Ruoyan take off his shoes carefully, and then gently covered him with a quilt.

Xiao Ruoyan's eyelashes are thick and long, and the two eyelashes are projected on his resolute cheeks like two small fans, and his cheeks are crimson after being drunk, but they look much warmer than usual.

It would be nice if you could do that during the day.

Ji Xiaoxi unconsciously wanted to touch Xiao Ruoyan's forehead, but halfway through, she realized that her behavior was incorrect.

So, he quickly reached back his hand.

When Ji Xiaoxi returned to the room, it was already two o'clock in the night, and thinking that Xiao Ruoyan should have fallen asleep at this time, she also felt a lot more settled.

But I can't seem to sleep.

Since coming to the Xiao family, the person who has crossed paths with him the most is not Xiao Qi, but Xiao Ruoyan, who makes him angry everywhere.

But now why do you feel that you seem to care more and more about him?
